Sun, 22 Dec 2013 02:18:53 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2232563#comment-3026489People seem not to realize that when you are consistently good year to year you have a consistently harder schedule because the way the schedules are made. It’s bogus to compare qb numbers without looking at common opponents.

Sun, 22 Dec 2013 01:39:47 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2232563#comment-3026443Flacco, the reigning SB MVP, plays on a better team than Stafford, Romo or Rivers, with a better defense. Much better. Not to mention far superior coaching. If Flacco was on SD, Dallas or Detroit he wouldn’t have won anything either. Although Romo does seem like a choker, sometimes these guys have to throw it up there because their D’s left them in the lurch. The Ravens could make the playoffs with any of those QBs

Flacco still couldn’t get over the top until what I have already said was an historic run in last yrs playoffs. This yrs performance by Flacco tells me that was a fluke.

Sun, 22 Dec 2013 01:21:00 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2232563#comment-3026422I often wonder if the Flacco haters that throw out his stats all the time even watch football.

Guys like rivers, Stafford and Romo always trump Flacco when it comes to stats. But what about how many games those guys have lost at the end of a 3 TD 350 yard game and game deciding int? How many times has flacco made all the big throws in the 4th during a 0 TD 2 int 150 yard game?

Never passed for 4000 yrds.
Never thrown more than 25 TDs.
Only has one season with a QB rating over 90.
Only cracked the top 10 in QB rating once(9th).
Was 5-4 in the playoffs and had a 52% completion percentage before last yrs great run.

*hint* He has no leadership skills either.

Uhm… the current reigning Superbowl MVP who has won playoff games every year in the league?

Only has one season with a QB rating over 90.

Tannehill’s terrible offensive line has given up the most sacks in the NFL.

Yet… Tannehill’s statistics are still better than joe flacco’s statistics.

Sun, 22 Dec 2013 00:16:45 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2232563#comment-3026353Yeah, Tannehill looked pretty good last week. Why would the Flacco apologists think he’s gonna do better. Tannehill has better passing stats all across the board. Except for an exceptional post season last year, Flacco has been nothing more than an above ave QB on a well coached, balanced FB team that usually had a good D and running gm(just like Eli Manning). This year Flacco’s back to normal; only he’s being paid like an elite QB that he’ll never be. The Raven’s offense stinks. They didn’t even score a TD against the Lions Mon nite, one of the worst def in the league. Pats win tomorrow. Ravens miss the playoffs.

Sun, 22 Dec 2013 00:07:03 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2232563#comment-3026340I see no evidence of this happening with the Patriots. It’s something that has grown legs based on the juvenile need of some teams and reporters to find SOME reason their team lost a game, or just simply an effort to discredit them for their continued success. It’s basically a result of Brady being on the report for a loong time, and Belichick’s known disdain for the injury report rule changes, that were probably geared towards betters and fantasy football marketing efforts. He thumbed his nose at the league a bit. So what. Look at what Harbaugh did last season with the injury report. It was ridiculous, but not a word is said about it. Instead, it is turned around as if some how the Patriots are responsible. Remember when Harbaugh whined about this last season on the radio, yet flagrantly violated the rules all season long? A MAN doesn’t do something, and then seek someone else to take the blame. The entire Harbaugh family is one big collection of ultra-maroons if you ask me.

However, whether a player plays or not does not change the way you do things at practice.

Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:40:30 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2232563#comment-3026026If the Patriots are messing with the injury reports to keep their opponents guessing, the very same thing is being done right back to the Pats. Through game 14, there is no difference between the Pats and their opponents in the likelihood that an injured player will miss a game depending on Friday injury status: doubtful = 97% likely not to play, questionable = 27% likely not to play, and probable = 3% likely not to play. This is quite a bit different from the 75%, 50%, 25% that is commonly associated with these labels, but is exactly the same for the Pats and their opponents.
